The Advisor also offers presentations and workshops at all campuses on many topics, including harassment and discrimination, managing conflicts positively, difficult conversations, communication skills, anger management, team buidling, effective meetings, and respectful workplace. See the Conflict Resolution and Discrimination & Harassment links in the left menu for a listing of workshops the Advisor has developed and presents on request.
